Well I think it wil be released in the next 15 days sometime. I really don't think it will be released at WWDC after what I've been hearing here. For all we know the AT&T vacation thing is just for USA. For Europe and other countries we might be in front of the queue getting it before USA people. Here's hoping UK is at front of the queue ;)

Ass covering by ATT...it WAS a place holder, but not for current iPhone models. why would they need place holders for models that the only distinction is the memory capacity? and if they did, why would they show up in a selection field on a page that has nothing to do with the memory? An iPhone is an iPhone regardless of the size, so it'd have to be distinctly different to warrant a placeholder
 

Ha! :D

It sounds to me that there will be two iPhones, a minor update to the current version and another one (the iPhone Black, man what a cool name!) with loads of new crap on it! Get your wallets and time machines ready, people!

my gf is due in 3 weeks. Looks like the pram will have to wait. !!!!!!!


I'm kidding. !!
 
To me the iphone black is obviously the name of the new iPhone, there is too much evidence to convince me otherwise.

i'm thinking that black is code for "the pirate edition" .. maybe it's a 3G capable unlocked version to deal with all the t-mobile pirates that are currently making deals on unlocked phones ..

on a side note - it's interesting that the iphone s/w has native capabilities for italian, but there's no italian iphone .. (i guess the same applies for canada as well)

This like eastenders!!!
except more entertaining.
The iPhone soap opera continues!!!!!
 
I like Engadget's sarcastic response to the ATT canned response...

We've just received an official statement from AT&T regarding the presence of an "iPhone Black" on its model selector earlier today: "The reference to 'iPhone Black' was simply a temporary placeholder used over the weekend for a scheduled catalog update. It was meant to temporarily distinguish the various iPhone models-4GB, 8GB and 16GB-but was never reassigned. We're changing the site now." Makes total sense, right? Three models of iPhone, two placeholders: iPhone and iPhone Black. You know, because "Black" has so much to do with memory capacity, and is easier to remember than 4, 8, or 16GB.

Also, AT&T, we know those cigarettes are yours, so you can stop telling us you were "just carrying them for a friend." We're not stupid, you know.
 
I guess that means the death of this thread, oh thread, we hardly new ye

White iphone on news

I've just watched a news bulletin on BBC about the earchquate in China and there was a businessman walking past the camera with a white phone to his ear with a black apple logo on the back. It looked identicle to the pictures of the white plastic iphone seen on some web pages. Could the new iphone have been copied already!

Its more likely that the pictures on the net are of a Chinese knock-off.

Nice... now somebody will find this incident as planned by apple to gain extra 'stealth advertising' ground.

BTW.... Planet Earth is pissed off. I wonder how long till it gets ****ing mad.

Has anyone heard of this pure mobile site? They list the iPhone Black on sale but currently unavailable.

http://www.puremobile.com/Apple/Apple-iPhone-Black-GSM-Phone/

Funny thing about it it says 'UNLOCKED' at the bottom of the page

Engadget.com is now sating O2 has original iPhone back in stock.

This is an interesting link though.....

If you read it all, it also states this:

Before you purchase, please note the following:

- This is the 8GB version of the unlocked iPhone
- The phone is now 100% software unlocked.
- Insert your SIM Card and you're ready to go. Nothing else is required on the part of the user for the phone to work.
- Visual voice mail will not work on this iPhone as it is a carrier dependant feature
- The phone is 100% brand new
- The phone has been upgraded to firmware version: 1.1.4 - Do not update or restore the firmware of this phone as it may lead to the phone becoming locked
- Puremobile will not be held responsible if the user re-locks the phone after purchase

In other words, this is just a software unlocked iPhone.

Nothing to see here, move along.
 
I'm studying at the moment and there is a foreign guy in my class who has stuck a white apple sticker on his Nokia N95 or whatever it is. Some people will go to any lengths...

I never thought... I could have taken his picture from a distance and posted it as the new upcoming iPhone for phun.

Anyway, I'm thinking that something could be in the pipeline for tomorrow... There will be an announcement of some sort from Apple tomorrow. I can feel it in my water!
